Future Air Forces Before Our Eyes: TB3, KIZILELMA and AKINCI Test Flights
Our defense industry three important parts of the Bayraktar family at the heart of TB3, RED APPLE ve FORWARD finally met on a common stage. These test flights were recorded not only as a symbol of the capacity in our inventory, but also as a concrete demonstration of our national technology initiative.
These flights are considered a milestone in the field of aviation engineering. from firing capability to flight maneuvers It has attracted attention with all its dynamics since its launch. The TB3's redesigned firepower and stabilization capabilities, combined with the KIZILELMA's landing and takeoff behavior, maximize flight safety and operational flexibility. Meanwhile, the AKINCI stood out with its endurance in long-range operations and stability during sorties. The synergy between these three aircraft not only enhances operational impact in the field but also strengthens industrial capacity.
Joining forces with the Italian delegation made this historical moment even more special. The delegation, led by Presidential Defense Industries Director Haluk Görgün and Italian Deputy Defense Minister Matteo Perego di Cremnago, visited the Özdemir Bayraktar National Technology Center, domestic production and advanced technological integration The delegation observed the test flights of TB3, AKINCI and KIZILELMA on-site and experienced the concrete results of Türkiye's goal of independence in the defense industry.
National Technology Center and R&D Power
National Technology Center, local and national solutions is at the center of the vision of production. The work done here, flight software integration, aircraft engines and avionics systems It brings together advanced technical knowledge and experience in critical areas such as TB3, AKINCI and KIZILELMA. automation and security protocols, will remain the basic reference in subsequent updates.
Among the highlights of the delegation's visit: safety of test flights, fuel efficiency, intelligent flight control systems ve integration processes All these elements clearly demonstrated the progress made by the national technology strategy in terms of flight safety and operational capacity.
Test Flight Summary and Highlights
- TB3In this section, where firing capabilities were tested, experiences focusing on altitude control and maneuvering precision were documented. Flight safety was maximized through the integration of a portable weapons system.
- RED APPLE: It attracted attention with its landing and takeoff performance. The controlled approach, particularly during runway changes and narrow-area operations, minimized friction points, improving safety.
- FORWARDOperational sortie flights demonstrated its stability in long-range missions. Continuous flight performance was achieved even in rainy and windy weather conditions.
These three planes, security protocols, innovative avionics systems ve integrated communications infrastructure It makes a difference. The data from the test flights clarified the roadmap for future plans while also reinforcing the global competitiveness of the defense industry.
International Cooperation and Strategic Impact
Defense industry cooperation between Italy and Türkiye mutually strengthens the technological capacities of the two countries. Work carried out through Leonardo SpA and other subsidiaries high-security aerial platforms accelerated joint R&D efforts to achieve this. This approach not only shares technological innovations but also high standards of safety and efficiency It also triggers the adoption of universal protocols to ensure
Feedback on the center visited by the delegation, the position of national technology in global competition The steps taken for Türkiye's flight safety, aircraft integration, and the resilience of its national defense industry ecosystem have been met with international praise.
Compared to the past, these test flights are not just a demonstration, the feasibility of a systematic domestic production strategy proved. TB3, KIZILELMA and AKINCI triangle, independent defense capacity with local and national solutions This success showed that high-tech exports ve strategic defense partnerships It provides a solid foundation for.
In conclusion, these flights are more than just a technical achievement, strengthening national security and the economy It is an indicator of a comprehensive ecosystem that serves its goals. These steps, which push the boundaries of national technology, local designers and engineers will continue to be a source of inspiration for.
